<br /> MINUTES <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> JUNE 9, 2010 <br /> Keis asked if the City has had any problems with pollutants in the bottom <br /> of ponds as some other cities are experiencing. The Superintendent <br /> reported that the City of White Bear Lake has experienced this problem, <br /> part of which they are attributing to the use of certain types of driveway <br /> sealers. Little Canada recently dredged two ponds and did not encounter <br /> this problem. The Superintendent reported that the City has included <br /> articles in its newsletter relative to this issue and the fact that there are <br /> driveway sealants on the market that are effective and do not pollute. <br /> Blesener asked if it will be necessary to dredge rain water gardens at some <br /> point. The Superintendent did not think so, and felt these gardens may <br /> need to be remulched at some point. If there is evidence of sand or fines <br /> in the gardens, the City could like use its vactor to remove these materials. <br /> Keis asked about the effectiveness of salt for ice control in cold <br /> temperatures. The Superintendent reported that salt is not as effective in <br /> temperatures under 15 degrees. He noted, however, that it can be effective <br /> down to zero degrees if the sun is shining and haffic is heavy. The <br /> Superintendent reported that part of the public education effort includes <br /> informing drivers that safe driving practices during cold and icy conditions <br /> are also a means of reducing pollutants into the storm water system. <br /> There was no one else present wishing to comment on this matter. <br /> Upon motion by McGraw, seconded by Boss, the public hearing was <br /> closed. <br /> Mr. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 2010-6-I39 -ACCEPTING THE STORM WATER <br /> POLL UTION PREVENTION PROGRAM AS PRESENTED BY THE <br /> PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT <br /> The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br /> Ayes (4). <br /> Nays (0).
